powder flash when shooting from the hip...

Post by JDeatsch »

Good day folks and welcome to me (my first post on this forum).

My CJ is a killer on one's left forearm when firing from the hip, as all of them are from the factory.

NAY I thought, I don't like this even though I've not fired it from the hip as yet, but I WANT to.

SO:

I decided to fit and impromptu flash shield. Easy to do. It's plastic, from the hardware, and fitted easily.

No, the ritufel isn't that dirty, it just looks like it.

To wit:Image

I hope this helps someone.

Welcome to the forum! I learned to be very careful when shooting it from a box stand!

I put 10 rds of .410 and same of .45 LC with no issues. I shot from a bag with white paper under it, nothing at all came out.

Works peachy.

Good deal. Is is just a piece of PVC pipe? If so, what diameter.

Actually Michael, it's a piece of shim used in a round something or other that I had in my junque drawer. If I had to guess I'd say it would work out to about 1.5" OD.

hth,

Jim
